NAME
dbounce-simple-safecat – store double-bounced email messages into a Maildir
SYNOPSIS
dbounce-simple-safecat [-a addr] [-d dir] [-i queueid] [-t type] -f msg
DESCRIPTION
The dbounce-simple-safecat utility reads an email message file from the local MTA's queue directory and invokes the safecat(1) utility to store it into a Maildir-format directory for the administrator's perusal. It is intended to be used as a double-bounce handler by mail transfer agents such as dma(8) (when dma's DBOUNCEPROG configuration setting is specified).
The dbounce-simple-safecat utility accepts the following command-line options; only -f is mandatory:
- -a addr
-
The recipient of the bounce message.
- -d dir
-
The bounce directory, /var/spool/mail/dma-bounces by default.
- -f msg
-
The full path to the bounced message to process.
- -i queueid
-
The ID of the bounce message in the local MTA's queue.
- -t type
-
The MTA type, currently unused.
EXAMPLES
Copy a message from the local dma(8) queue into the default double-bounce Maildir:
dbounce-simple-safecat -a [email protected] -i 40c1b8.882e250 -t dma -f /var/spool/dma/40c1b8.882e250
A minimal execution with only the mandatory parameters:
dbounce-simple-safecat -f /var/spool/dma/40c1b8.882e250
Explicitly specify the destination directory:
dbounce-simple-safecat -d /root/bounces -f /var/spool/dma/40c1b8.882e250
EXIT STATUS
The dbounce-simple-safecat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
